Dildo Brewing Co. Museum

I visited the restaurant and tried their seafood chowder and signature burger. Both dishes were excellent!

They have a spacious outdoor patio that overlooks the water, but if you prefer to sit inside, you can take in the view through the large garage doors that connect the indoor and outdoor spaces. I was pleasantly surprised to find that they have a real pizza oven on-site! On my way out, I couldn’t resist picking up some merchandise, so I got a Dildo Brewing Co. Museum t-shirt to commemorate my visit. I highly recommend this place to anyone planning a trip to Newfoundland and Labrador!

**Positives:** - The location is fantastic, right on the waterfront. - The staff were friendly and welcoming. - The food was well-prepared (see attached image). - The beer was cold, flavorful, and had a great color. - There's a merchandise area and a museum (though I didn’t have time to explore it). - Our server, Emma R., was excellent. **Negatives:** (This is why I gave it 4 out of 5 stars) - The major drawback was the wait time for our food. I was dining with a coworker, and after placing our order (refer to the receipt for details on what we ordered and when), it took 45 minutes to receive our meals, which were quite basic. We were hoping to have some time to explore the area, but due to the lengthy wait, we ended up rushing back to the airport in St. John’s. Perhaps our expectations regarding wait times were naive, as it seems Dildo operates on "Island Time" rather than a typical pub or grill pace. Overall, I would definitely recommend Dildo Brewery for its beer, food, and hospitality. Just be sure to have a flexible schedule and no pressing obligations that might affect your experience there.

If you're interested in a long wait, ambivalent service, and subpar food, then this is the spot for you. If you're thinking about a day trip from St. John's for this, you'd be much better served checking out one of the many better brewpub options in town. Gave it two stars because the server did comp our beers after leaving us unattended for 40 minutes.

This is a bright and lively brew pub. The food is better than average and includes fresh ingredients (something that we noticed was missing at other pubs in NL? . We did have to wait a while to get a seat this place is exceptionally busy on weekend afternoons. We were able to get a seat at the bar but had to ask a few times about this even though the bar was empty. So, not the best front of house experience. There were several options with respect to beer including some interesting options like one with blueberry, and also a house made seltzer style drink (they also make vodka . I personally enjoyed the pale ale, which was more of a 'west coast ' style (ie. hoppy . The pub is bright with lots of windows showcasing views of the harbour. The bartender was attentive and friendly, and our beer and food arrived at a reasonable pace. Lots of merch to be purchased here including their famous t shirts. The little gift shop and off sales area at the front is BUSY!! Don 't go here if you are short on time you will be frustrated by the wait times. If you are having a relaxed afternoon, then this is your place!
